+## Testing libdispatch
+
+### Running tests
+
+A C-based test suite can be found in the tests subdirectory.
+It uses the automake testing harness to execute the tests.
+
+A default set of tests that are always expected to pass can
+be executed by doing
+
+ ```
+ make check
+ ```
+
+An extended test suite that includes some tests that may fail
+occasionally can be enabled at configure time:
+
+ ```
+ ./configure --enable-extended-test-suite
+ make check
+ ```
+
+### Additional prerequisites
+
+A few test cases require additional packages to be installed.
+In particular, several IO tests assume /usr/bin/vi is available
+as an input file and will fail if it is not present.
